Yesterday there was the completely rebuilt LB Super Silhouette Works R34 Nissan Skyline and just a day later the next cracker arrives! And this time it's a skyline the one from the Japanese tuner GarageActive was built by Mark Riccioni (Instagram: mark_scenemedia /Twitter: markriccioni) for the Speed ​​Hunters Magazine was immortalized with impressive pictures. And the result, in our opinion, is particularly impressive compared to the Liberty Walk variant. The skyline looks extreme overall clean and yet almost no component is standard anymore. The absolute highlight is of course the significantly widened body with Nismo details and N1 ventilation openings that shine in the beautiful Active TKO Red full carbon and has perfectly taken over the factory lines of the GT-R.

However, all a good number wider and viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiel much nicer. The close-up pictures of the carbon surface are absolutely amazing. And no less spectacular is the Work Seeker MX wheelset (Format 18 x 11,5 inches front and back with Toyo 295 / 30R18 semislicks) in combination with a completely new Airride air suspension (with T-Demand tie rods, Nismo and GK-Tech arms etc.) fills the wheel arches with millimeter precision. The narrow spokes also catch a glimpse of a large sports brake system with an active 4-piston system with slotted brake discs at the front and rear, which ensures an adequate deceleration of the skyline. And that is sorely needed. After all, there was an RB30E engine block (from the R31 Skyline or VL Holden Commodore) with RB26 cylinder head, 292-degree cam, an active sports exhaust system, a Rising Sports fuel injection, a DRL cooler and also the 87 mm forged pistons with high-end connecting rods. A similar vehicle from the tuner has already produced 900 hp and burned a 9-second time in the asphalt without any problems (see the following video).

 

The current specimen is two numbers "tamer", but with 348 hp still stronger than some pseudo athletes of the modern age and with a maximum of 9000 rpm. crazy easy to turn. With this vehicle, everyday suitability and a subtle appearance were in the foreground and a turbocharger for the RB30 was therefore deliberately avoided. For this there was a sequential OS Giken OS88 6-manual transmission that uses ATS carbon clutch and ATS carbon differential sends the power to the rear wheels (no AWD). Nothing seems exaggerated or even chubby, but just like you one not standard Skyline presents. And that also applies to the interior. There is a specially adapted roll cage in body color, there were beautiful Recaro bucket seats in black / red and even practical details such as a navigation system, air conditioning or fluffy carpets can be found in the cabin.

the focus was on the benefits

And the interior is also designed for everyday use, even if only for two people due to the lack of a back seat. The many small details like the leather lining as cage padding on the tubes of the cage, the LED gear shift indicator or the Bluetooth Function of the navigation system round off the overall package impressively. And of course it is the "Restomod" Garage Active 1994 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R an absolutely unique piece.
